FAQ

Is Shortlet Playbook affiliated with Airbnb?
No. Shortlet Playbook is an independent guide published by Hexuvium Services Limited. The earnings benchmark uses public data from Inside Airbnb, an independent project, under Creative Commons CC BY 4.0 terms.
Where do the earnings figures come from?
From Inside Airbnb's public listing snapshots for London and Dublin. See the Methodology page for the exact filters, snapshot dates and what the figures do and don't include.
Does "estimated nights booked" mean confirmed bookings?
No — it's Inside Airbnb's modelled estimate based on review activity, used as a proxy for demand. It is not a count of actual reservations.
Do the guides cover compliance or local council rules?
No. Local council requirements vary and change often, so we don't publish them here — check with your local authority and the platform you list on. Our guides cover the operational side: getting the property ready, pricing it, cleaning it, and managing guests.
Can I use the earnings benchmark for a property outside London or Dublin?
The benchmark only covers London and Dublin, where we have enough comparable listings to publish a reliable median. We may add more UK and Ireland cities as the benchmark grows.
Who writes the guides?
The Shortlet Playbook team at Hexuvium, drawing on the checklists and processes used to manage short-let properties day to day.
How often is new content published?
A new practical guide is added most weeks — see the Weekly Guide section for the latest one.
